I just wonder how much work it would take to add two features which I
would find great in the windows editor of WINPOV:
1 - Highlight matching braces. When the cursor is close to { or }, the
matching one is highlighted. It would be much easier to understand the
code in deeply nested objects, CSG, ..... Most unix editors have this
feature.
2 - Expanding keywords : When the beginning of a keyword is written in
the editor (ie 'ligh'), the user should be given the choice of the
possible matching keywords ( 'light_source' or 'light_group'.
If only one keyword matches (ie 'cam'), the editor should complete that
keyword ('camera').
Scite does this.
If you want clear examples, both features are implemented in my Linux
POV-RAY editor at :
http://pyvon.sourceforge.net see screenshots
You have to have Python installed first.

Type "cam" and press tab. Type "ligh" and press tab a few times.

Also read the sections 1.5.5 and 1.5.6 of the documentation for even
more options.

I'm pretty sure if you put the cursor near a brace and press ctrl+], it will
go to the matching brace. I might have the shortcut wrong... check the
menus.

The shortcut is correct. However you can't perform it on every keyboard...
if this is a problem, you can always change it to what you like by doing
menu: Editor/Editor Preferences... [Alt+Enter].
Povingly,

I guess this feature is new on POV 3.5. I have not tried it yet on
Windows. ( I don't want to download 6.5 Meg (twice) every week or so).
In that case sorry for the mistake.

By the way would not it be more convenient just to have the executable
to download for those who just want to play with POV 3.5. I know that
the POV team does this to have all the files (help, demos, includes)
properly updated, but still....
6.5 Meg to 1.5 would make a difference.

That's the point : Why press Ctrl+] while an automatic highlight is
possible ? It does not drain out computer resources to do that.

Once you download and install 3.5 for windows once, you can download the
VC++ compile which is just the executable.

And then p.beta-test gets filled of bug reports which are actually
caused because of not using updated include files?
